Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, including some minor dogearing to the corners which are obscured by the frame. Under close inspection, some hairline craquelure with associated pinpoint spots of loss is visible in the areas in which the media was applied thickly, but all areas appear stable. Under raking light, an approximately 3-inch surface abrasion is visible in the upper left and some minor pilling is visible to the surface primarily along the left edge. The colors are bright and fresh. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
